SOLDER-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 303,219, dated August5, 1884.

Application filed December B, 1883. (No model.) i

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES R. EvERsoN, a. citizen of the United States,and e resident of Maeedon, rayne county, New York, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Solder-Holders, of which the following isa specification.

Myinvention is a. device constructed as fully described hereinafter,whereby to hold small pieces 0f solder which cannot be manipulated inconnection with the soldering-iron when held directly in the hand,thereby avoiding the loss incurred by the non-use or remelting andreeasting of such pieces.

In the drawing is shown a perspective View of my improved solder-holder.

The implement consists of a shank, A, formed et one end into a handle,B, and having at the other end a clenip for securing the smell pieces Xof solder which it is desired to hold.` The clamp eonsists of a finger,ci, projecting from the shank, and a screw, b, which passes through aseeondfinger, c, and between which and the finger ft the solder isfirmly clamped. It will be seen that one of the iinl gers, c, proj ectsbeyondthe other.

This is important as the ends of the pieces are often rounded or beveledand could only beheld bctweeu jaws of equal length by introducing` a.considerable portion back of the grippingpoints, which portion Could notbe used, while by the construction described almost the eutire piece canbe utilized. The handle is tapered at its end and formed with e :datedge substantially like a screw-driver. By this construction the workmancan prcss down or open the seams before soldering.

The shank A, formed ut one end into :L titpered let edge and at theother having the projecting lingers a c, the iingercbeinglonger than theother and provided with zt clampingsorew, as set forth.

Intestiniony whereof lhiivesi goed my name to this specification in thepresence of two sub scribing witnesses.

CHARLES R. EVERSON.
